VOLUME IX THIS, THAI • AND THE OTHER •* By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS Some poet wrote: “A dreary place would be this earth Were there no little children in it; The song of life would lose its mirth, W ere there no children to begin it.” j A small boy, not yet four, told me that he had a room of his own upstairs. And his mother added that he went to bed alone each night, she and the father sleeping downstairs. “Why, Todd,” I asked, “aren’t you afraid up there all by yourself ?” “0, no,” he replied. “I wouldn’t be afraid, if there was two or three more up there.” It w'as back in the days when girls wore sunbonnets. My young est sister, only three, came and sat down on the doorstep, taking off her bonnet and laying it in her lap a long time ago,” she began, “Jesus lived down here on earth wiv we.” I said yes, and she went on: “But bad mens killed Him and He went up to heaven to live wiv God." Again I said yes, and she continued: “An’ if we be-good, when we die we can go up to heaven and live wiv God.” A third assent from me, * while she paused for a few seconds before saying with deep pity: “But poor God! He never can die and feo nowhere.” Another three-year-old came to see me recently and after inquiring r * about ihy husband, my sons and ! piy grandsons asked if I had ever * known people’s going off on a honeymoon. She said some one*told her that her mother and daddy went 4 away on one when they were mar ried, but that she did not know n-hat became of it; that they never . use it now, but always go on the ’* car. Then she wanted to know if I 'I had ever been on a honeymoon. I ; l began, “No, when I was married —” * and she interrupted in great sur- 1 prise with. “Oh, are you married? ft 7 never heard that. Nobody ever r • j \o!d me.” And I am quite sure no ™ne ever had tol ( j her that I am j .° n ar:\ed.

Everybody concerned ex pects the school to do a good job. Parents plan weeks ahead for the opening of school; children become i interested and ask “when is school to open”; teachers plan throughout j | the summer vacation for the next school year. Each year seems to add some i new burden to the school load. This year the teacher load has been in j creased, yet most of the teachers j will go back to their work with a ! determination to do their best work. ! Theodore Roosevelt once said, “If | you teachers did not do your work well, this Republic w-ould not out- I last the span of a generation.” We naturally expect our teachers to do their work well. In our community the parents too liave done the best they could to help in making the school do its best work. It takes sacrifice on the part of parents to send their chil dren to school. It takes some mon ey, it takes regularity in the home, it takes careful planning on the part of mother to get the children off to school, it takes patience all around to do the school job well— but these sacrifices are wdllingly made by the parents for the sake | of the children. Some of the privileges of youth also have to be surrendered when i school starts. Sometimes we, of the older generation, are too much in i dined to criticise youth on this i point. We say that youth wants I ease, pleasure and a soft life. My observation leads me to believe 1 that this is not the case. I am con vinced that youth wants opportu- I nity to achieve. I believe that youth will nut forth effort, endure strug gle, hardship, and even suffering with cheer, if it is leading'some where. W The responsibility of parents and teachers is to give youth this op portunity to achieve. The more j points of contact the school car. j give the child with the realities of I ! life, the richer his experience and j :ne better prepared he is to tackle he problems of making a living! j and a life. 1 The school should not hold up be ! f ore its pupils the false dreams of rise 4i ■! comfort c*>ming through ■in education. This is not the case. 1 framing usually leads to a life j >f v. k and the ability to <!< that [■ < > rk.

For thi» reason it - never static It is always in teresting and it is always leading is oj: to new and better thing I short- we want our school to mean alj that it cat. to the youth of , thi- community. Every chapel pro em.. every play period and every re; ration should have this in rnind; n fact, all the club and society Aw * • fanned with the develop ment of ‘he youth in mind. Just remember that the school work feeds the mind in the same way tha’ too,] nourishes the bociy.lt s constant and the growth is stea dy. not spasmodic. We want it to be wholesome and develop an a!! , .• round character. E. H. Moser. '1 me new trench silos have been uug in ( aldwell County this -um •ner.

Open the doors of the school house to all the children of the land. Let no man have the excuse of poverty for not edu cating his own offspring. Place the means of educa tion within his reach and if they remain in ignor ance, let it be his own reproach. If one object of the expenditure of revenue be protection against crime, • you could not devise a better or cheaper means of obtaining it. Other nations (spend their money in providing means for its detection and punishment, but it is for the principles of our government to provide for its never occurring. The one acts by coercion, the other by prevention. On the diffusion of education among the people rest the preservation and perpetuation of our free institutions.—-J. T. Trowbridge. Wakelon—the pride of this community! The Record greets old teachers and old students. It greets the new teachers and new students. It congratulates the parents on having the means and opportunity of giving their children the rudi ments of an education at their very doors. May our hopes, our efforts, our prayers, be that the year just beginning shall be better and more suc cessful than all the years so well done till now. Wakelon—the responsibility of this community!

I Wake Tobacco 1 Farmers Meet About a hundred Wake county tobacco growers answered the call -of County Agent Anderson to meet at the court house last Saturday and appoint representatives to at tend the state-wide conference at State College Wednesday. Mr. An . derson called the group to order and stated its purpose. Permanent organization was ef fected by the election of W. H. i Stevens of Varina as Chairman; E. * Bartholomew cf Raleigh a vie > chairman, and L. Bruce Gunter of Fuquay Springs as secretary. Township or community chair-, men were selected as follows: Fu quay Springs section, W. H. Ste vens; Apex section, Gordon Olive; Wendell section. W. L. Wooten; Zebulon section, Oren D. Massey; Garner-Auburn section, Rus«el] Powell; Cary section, D. A. Mor gan; Wake Forest-Rolesville sec tion, Zeb Williams; Panther Branch, J. W. Blalock; St. Mat thews, Drevvry Partin. W. H. Stevens, E. L. Bartholo mew and W. L. Wooten were ap pointed to attend the state confer ence. The purpose of this organization is to cooperate with all other rec-! ognized agencies looking toward better conditions for the grower. Emphasis, however, will be placed on working out a permanent pro gram rather than immediate relief. Committees named by the recent mass meeting at Raleigh will em phasize the need of relief immedi ately. Several farmers present Satur day expressed their determination to carry through until some satis factory program is adopted for the | control of production ami orderly j marketing of tobacco.

According to one of our bright shining citizens, a “surf” is something you wear around your neck in cold weather. Di,] someone say that there was a gentleman caller in a green Oak land over in Wakefield last Friday ] night? He left rather early (or is eleven early now?). Was she mad? Or, was she madS In either case a certain little blond lady was giving her gentleman friend hail Columbia the other aft ernoon. All I heard was: “Well I told you that once! Can’t you hear nothing?” That was enough for me. I did the oblivion stunt as quickly as possible. *•-- • . a Went clown New Bern way last week and have they got mosqui toes d wn there! Ask me if they have mosquitoes down there. Why they have them so large that they can stand flat-footed and fight a turkey.
